00:05I can't remember if you asked or not, but I've been feeling like an astronaut.
00:12That's him, that's him!
00:13Mr. Borough, got time for a picture?
00:17Teddy.
00:20Sure.
00:23What's your name?
00:23Joanna.
00:24Joanna, it's good to meet you.
00:26She wants to be an astronaut.
00:27Oh, yeah?
00:28And after you go to space, I want a picture with you.
00:31Deal?
00:32Deal.
00:33Go on, honey.
00:38What's it like up there?
00:40Well, um, I'll tell you.
00:43You never get tired of the view.
00:4516 sunrises, 16 sunsets every day.
00:48And it has its challenges.
00:51I hope you get to see it someday.
00:54Thanks for this.
00:55You folks have a good day.
00:57You too.
00:58That was so cool.
00:59Now we're running late.
01:01Come on.
01:01We can cut through it this way.
01:02Excuse us.
01:05You all right?
01:06Yeah, I'm good.
01:07Just a little nervous about giving the speech.
01:12Hey!
01:13What the hell?
01:14What is wrong with people?
01:16Teddy, are you okay?
01:18Teddy?
01:20Oh, my God.
01:21Oh, my God.
01:22What is happening?
01:24What is happening?
01:24Oh, my God.
01:25Get out.
01:26Get out.
01:27Somebody help!
01:28Help!
01:30Help!
01:40So you're just going to fly to New York and knock on Will Quinn's door?
01:43I've gone through all the proper channels.
01:45So far, I've been ghosted and shut down by a receptionist named Cleo.
01:49So I'm just going to go.
01:51I'm tired of waiting.
01:52Yeah, me too.
01:54All right, well, Ludo can watch the kids.
01:55I just got to run.
01:56Absolutely not, Morgan.
01:56Don't do this, okay?
01:58I'm going with you, all right?
01:59I need to talk to this woman.
02:01Soto is right.
02:02It's too risky, Morgan.
02:03Will is too much of an unknown, and what we do know worries me.
02:06She erases problems for billionaires.
02:08Her clients are senators and CEOs.
02:10Half the people who make the rules we enforce.
02:12I understand, and the other half pay her to...
02:14Enough!
02:16I'm going alone.
02:17Going where?
02:23New York City.
02:26I'm looking for a woman named Willa Quinn.
02:28Her name was given to us by...
02:29Eric Hayworth.
02:30Yeah, I know about him.
02:33And Arthur.
02:36All of it.
02:39So you understand why I need to keep the circle small?
02:43Sure.
02:45You're leaving now?
02:46I got a plane to catch.
02:47Okay, if I go with you...
02:48Stop.
02:49And if it gets messy with Willa?
02:51Then it'll be my ass on the line, not yours.
02:54I'm sure you have other things to take care of, Captain.
02:57Oh, just dinner with my old man.
02:58Trust me.
02:59I'd rather go with you.
03:01But I'm sure you'll keep us all posted.
03:04Feel free to use my office.
03:11Looks like you two are on the way to the Biltmore Hotel.
03:14We've got a high-profile murder on our hands.
03:16Who is it?
03:17Teddy Barrow, former astronaut, who says he's a big deal.
03:21Yeah, he's a big deal.
03:22680 days on the International Space Station.
03:26Everything okay?
03:27Yeah, I'm just glad Elliot's stuck at school.
03:30I'm going to have detectives Ozdill and Forrester meet you there.
03:37I don't want your love.
03:48I just want to fight.
03:52Samantha.
03:55Teddy Barrow is on his way to give a keynote speech at a business symposium.
03:58We're questioning all the attendance, but the event was publicized online, so anyone in the world could have known he'd
04:02be here.
04:03How do you kill someone with a pie?
04:05Must have been laced with some kind of toxin.
04:06Bystanders seem to be okay.
04:08Hazmat cleaned and cleared the area, so it's not airborne.
04:10And the woman who did this?
04:11Teddy's aide chased her, but she got away.
04:14This was taken right before it happened.
04:17You can see the attacker in the background.
04:19Anyone else get a look at her?
04:20Victim's fiancée was next to him when it happened.
04:23Heidi Choi.
04:24Paramedics are checking her out right now, but it looks like she'll be okay.
04:26Morgan and I will talk to her.
04:27You guys get any footage the hotel has of the attack and push forensics to rush labs on the pie.
04:32Find out what the hell we're dealing with.
04:34Teddy and I, we worked together for 12 years.
04:37Me on the ISS ground team and him going up.
04:40We always had feelings for each other, but we agreed to keep it professional.
04:45Then about a month ago, he changed his mind on a dime.
04:48We went on a few dates.
04:50Things moved really fast and...
04:55Before you knew it, he was asking me to marry him.
05:00I'm so sorry.
05:02At first, I thought that woman was pulling some sort of terrible prank,
05:06and then I saw that Teddy, he couldn't breathe, and...
05:12It's okay.
05:13I'll take your time.
05:15I'm sorry.
05:16We got the hotel security footage.
05:18You do not need to watch this.
05:20It's all right.
05:20I want to help.
05:28Do you recognize her?
05:29No, I don't.
05:31I'm sorry.
05:32It's okay.
05:33If we have any other questions, we'll let you know.
05:40We checked every angle.
05:41None give a good look at the woman's face.
05:43Well, we can still run it through facial recognition.
05:45Maybe we'll get lucky.
05:46I think we just did.
05:47You said this woman outran everyone, right?
05:50Mm-hmm.
05:51Okay, check out this footwork.
05:53She is really booking it.
05:55This woman is a serious runner.
06:01Look at these impressions.
06:04She was wearing track spikes, and since the spikes are all clustered up at the front, our killer was also
06:09a sprinter.
06:10And based on her speed and how much ground she covered, I'm guessing 11 seconds in the 100, give or
06:15take?
06:16D1 speed.
06:17No wonder no one caught her.
06:18Yeah, and look at this.
06:19Her shoes are custom colors.
06:22Yeah, red with a black heel strike.
06:24That's St. Emily's Women's College.
06:26They have a D1 track and field team.
06:29My ex went there.
06:30She was a big runner.
06:32Ran far away from commitment.
06:34Yeah, I just checked their roster.
06:36Only one sprinter there clocks on 11 second 100, Arden Prescott.
06:39Let's pay a little visit to St. Emily, see if we can track her down.
06:42Track her down?
06:44You gonna do this all day?
06:45I'll stop.
06:45I think that's for the best.
06:47Which time is it?
06:47Yeah, I'll have to meet you there.
06:49She had to bolt.
06:57Hey, can I come in?
07:06You heard about Teddy Barrow, huh?
07:08I have a news alert.
07:09When did you find out?
07:10Well, actually, I just got assigned to his case.
07:14Really?
07:15Yep.
07:17Wow.
07:20I'm really sorry.
07:22I know how important he was to you.
07:24I still can't believe he wrote me back about how he was fixing the solar array wing on the
07:28STS-126 mission.
07:30I really wanted to meet him.
07:32I know you did.
07:34And I wish you could have, because I bet you two have a lot in common.
07:39Do you know what happened?
07:42We're working on it.
07:44I don't understand.
07:46Teddy was so nice to everyone, and everyone loved him.
07:49I don't know why anyone would want to hurt him.
07:51That's what I'm going to find out.
08:03I mean, I pretty much promised him that we'd figure out what happened to Teddy.
08:07You know, losing our heroes can be tough, even if we never met him.
08:10Yeah, and he basically inherited my brain, so unless he gets some answers, he's never
08:14going to stop thinking about it.
08:16Let's get him some.
08:22L.A.P.D., I'm assuming you're Christine?
08:25Yeah.
08:25We're looking for your roommate, Arden Prescott.
08:28Okay.
08:31Uh, she's not answering her cell phone, and we spoke to her parents.
08:34They don't know where she is, either.
08:35She's not here.
08:37You mind if we come in?
08:43Christine, when's the last time you saw Arden?
08:46Um, maybe, like, yesterday.
08:49So did she sleep here last night?
08:50I don't know.
08:52Maybe.
08:53Any idea where she might be now?
08:54Look, she's just, like, my assigned roommate.
08:56I don't really know her that well, and I've got to get to class, so...
08:59You mind if we keep looking around?
09:01Knock yourselves out.
09:05Well, this place is gross.
09:07She would have grabbed one of those hazmat suits from the crime scene.
09:10Christine could be hiding somebody.
09:11Nobody can be that oblivious.
09:12I don't know.
09:14Teenagers are pretty good at ignoring things.
09:17Judging by this room, the two are polar opposites, so I wouldn't be surprised if they never speak at all.
09:22How can you tell whose stuff is whose?
09:24Because of what we know about them already.
09:27Christine can't be bothered.
09:28She keeps to herself.
09:30So those are her noise-canceling headphones.
09:32Plus, you saw her sense of fashion.
09:33She's into anime.
09:35She loves fake nails.
09:37And then there's Arden, the performer.
09:39She works out.
09:41She posts online.
09:43And she sings.
09:47Which tells us that this is Arden's desk.
09:52Well, Morgan, keep your distance.
09:53There's an empty pie box in here.
09:55We'll get it over to forensics.
09:57See anything else around here that would indicate why Arden might do this?
10:00No.
10:01But maybe she can.
10:02And I recognize her from one of Arden's posts.
10:05That's Sister Lucy.
10:06She's her track and field coach.
10:08Yeah, also her choir director.
10:10Two of Arden's worlds in one.
10:11Hopefully, she's more helpful than the roommate.
10:15Singing, jogging, none.
10:17That's what I should have been.
10:28This meal is almost over, and I still don't know how you're going to fix this.
10:32I have two kids.
10:34And every time they turn on the TV...
10:35They hear their father's a crook.
10:37I know, it's awful.
10:39We will just go door to door and smash every television their friends own.
10:44Problem solved.
10:46Larry, don't lose your sense of humor.
10:48A bigger scandal's coming.
10:50You'll disappear.
10:52Willa Quinn, I'm Lieutenant Salina Soto with the LAPD.
10:57And yet here you are.
10:58Well, we're in the middle of a private...
10:59I'll be quick.
11:00I just need your help clearing some things up.
11:03Oh.
11:04Well, you have to try this.
11:06It's a truffle moose.
11:08They train dogs in Alba to go and find the truffles.
11:13And then they wrap them in linen and ship them overnight.
11:18I'm good.
11:19Thank you, Larry.
11:19Tell her it's a clean spoon.
11:20It's a clean spoon.
11:21I've already eaten.
11:25Well, I suppose you could have grabbed something quick when you changed planes in Dallas?
11:34Okay, what did you want to clear up?
11:35Sit.
11:37I think we should speak in private.
11:39Oh, honey.
11:40With the amount that I know about this one, he's not barking unless I tell him to.
11:45You already interrupted our lunch.
11:47Sit down.
11:53We've been investigating the disappearance of a man named Roman Sinquera.
11:57Your name came up.
11:58There's a woman in Florida, 27, with the same name.
12:02I'd start with her.
12:03I'm starting with you.
12:05Okay.
12:07Call my office and have them set up an appointment.
12:10Cleo hasn't returned my calls.
12:12Marvin, that's who you want to call.
12:14I've already taken care of the check.
12:16I figured I needed to buy some time with you.
12:18It's pricey.
12:19But hopefully, it'll be worth it.
12:26Now, that is a strategic type of generosity.
12:31It's very New York.
12:33Let me guess.
12:34Um, Brooklyn?
12:37Sunset Park?
12:38Staten Island?
12:39Wrong bridge.
12:41Queens.
12:42I grew up in Corona.
12:44And now you're LAPD.
12:48We're a bit out of your jurisdiction.
12:54We already have someone in custody who's willing to talk.
12:58Eric Hayworth?
13:00So, if you're willing to tell us what we know,
13:04give me a call later tonight.
13:06I'm staying at the Wheaton.
13:09Enjoy the dog food.
13:14All right.
13:15We'll talk later.
13:17Wait.
13:17You said another scandal was going to...
13:20Check your phone, Larry.
13:26Wow.
13:28Uh, miss?
13:31The check?
13:33The check?
13:44Talk screens in.
13:46The pie contained VX nerve agent.
13:48No way.
13:49Mm-hmm.
13:50Like in The Rock?
13:52Nick Cage, Ed Harris.
13:54VX was a big part of that.
13:55Have you ever seen a movie?
13:58All I know is it's lethal.
13:59Exposure comes through inhalation of the skin,
14:01causes immediate paralysis and death.
14:04Not exactly the kind of thing you can buy on the street.
14:07Well, the nun's here.
14:08Maybe she can tell us where Arden got it.
14:10This is a weird case.
14:13None of this makes any sense.
14:15I've known Arden since her freshman year.
14:18She's a bit vain, but she'd never hurt a fly.
14:20She never mentioned anything about a teddy bar?
14:23Never.
14:25Any idea where Arden is now?
14:27No.
14:27You're a good nun, sister.
14:29Because you're a pretty bad liar.
14:30What's your hands doing right now,
14:32covering your neck like that?
14:33It's something people, mostly women,
14:34do when they're uncomfortable.
14:35You know more than you're telling us, don't you?
14:38And it's killing you.
14:40On our way in here, we learned that a rare nerve agent
14:43was used to kill Teddy Barrow.
14:44If Arden was approached by foreign actors,
14:46maybe at an international track and field event,
14:49there are ways that we can help her.
14:50But only if she comes in.
14:54You have to tell us where she is.
15:04Arden?
15:08These people are from the police.
15:10Wait.
15:11You're turning me in?
15:14You said that you'd help me.
15:16She is helping you.
15:17Trust me.
15:17It's gonna go better this way.
15:20Hang on a second.
15:21Is this your backpack?
15:23Yeah.
15:25If I'm going on the run,
15:26I'm not exactly filling my go bag with textbooks.
15:30You didn't know you were gonna be on the run
15:32when you left the room this morning.
15:34Sister Lucy says you didn't know what was in the pie.
15:35Is that true?
15:39I swear I didn't know.
15:40We still have to bring you in.
15:41Technically, you did kill Teddy Barrow.
15:44But I think somebody set you up.
15:53I've been trying to gain more followers.
15:56Maybe a sponsor.
15:58So I started posting my training routine.
16:01Diet.
16:02Sometimes songs.
16:04And then I got this DM from a big viral video producer,
16:07Follybox, saying he loved my stuff
16:09and he wanted me to do a video for his channel.
16:12He's got hundreds of prank videos.
16:13They get millions of views.
16:15Did you meet this Follybox in person?
16:17No, just DMs.
16:18That's how it works.
16:20You know, Follybox sends you a box,
16:21like, with instructions,
16:23whatever outfit you have to wear,
16:25and you do it.
16:26No questions asked.
16:28Never checked if the person you were DMing with
16:30really was who they said they were.
16:32Detectives, I'm gonna advise my client to stop talking.
16:34Counsel, we're trying to help your client,
16:35and the best way for her to help us do that
16:37is to cooperate.
16:42I think we can all assume at this point
16:43that it wasn't really the producer who contacted you.
16:46What was in the box you got?
16:49A pie, mask, gloves,
16:52a photo of the guy,
16:53and instructions weren't when to do it.
16:55It said hidden cameras would pick everything up.
16:57I didn't know the pie was poison.
16:59I'd never even heard of Teddy Barrow
17:01until it was all over the news.
17:03I didn't think anyone would believe me
17:04except for Sister Lucy.
17:07We need to hold you for a little while longer,
17:09but if your story checks out
17:11and you give us access to your accounts
17:12so we can track down this prank producer,
17:15I'll let the DA know you're being helpful.
17:18Sound good?
17:23She said my flight connected in Dallas,
17:25but that wasn't a guess.
17:27That lady knew I was coming.
17:29How?
17:30I'm not really sure.
17:31But I am telling you,
17:32we cannot underestimate her.
17:33Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
17:34First, you are ordering a bottle of wine.
17:36On me.
17:37Cheapest one is 110 bucks.
17:39First, you are cracking open those mixed nuts.
17:41On me.
17:43How is it I just met this woman
17:46and it already feels like she's one step ahead?
17:50Don't let her get in your head.
17:52She got lucky, that's all.
17:54You'll find a way to get her to talk.
17:55You always do.
18:07Oh, Soto, how are things going in New York?
18:12Pretty good, from as far as I could tell.
18:16Look, I get why you're not thrilled about me
18:19being in the Roman investigation,
18:21but the more I know,
18:23the more useful I can be to you.
18:27Yeah, I gotta say,
18:28I'm, um, having a hard time buying that
18:30based on everything you've done
18:32since you've been here.
18:36Yeah.
18:37That's fair.
18:40I like to be honest about it,
18:41but I'm not sure how little Ann.
18:43You want to take a crack at it?
18:48I come from a family
18:49where truth was something you negotiated.
18:54Okay.
18:55My dad used to say politicians and cops
18:57are the same animal in different collars.
18:59Both were good at smiling
19:00while they pocket the knife.
19:02You grow up around that,
19:03you develop some habits.
19:04So your dad was also super confusing
19:06when he spoke to people.
19:07Cool.
19:07Morgan, when I got here,
19:09I didn't know who to trust.
19:11I didn't know who was gonna let me in
19:12or who was gonna cut me out.
19:14Soto, Karadek, the whole pen, really.
19:16So I tested them.
19:18I rattled some cages to see what would give.
19:22You certainly did.
19:26And what'd you find?
19:28They're good people.
19:30I forgot some cops can be honest.
19:35Morgan, I did my own digging on Quinn.
19:39You need somebody who spent their whole life
19:42spotting the lie inside the lie.
19:50I got to get back to work.
19:53Reached out to the FBI for some background.
19:55This isn't the first time VX has been used
19:57to kill someone like this.
19:592017.
20:00North Korean refugee, two women,
20:02splashed them in the face.
20:03They thought it was a prank show.
20:05No one ever figured out who pulled the strings.
20:07Such a weird way to kill someone.
20:09Think it's the same person?
20:10More likely it's where our killer got the idea.
20:13Vero had more to share.
20:14Turn the page.
20:16Teddy Barrow logged a lot of time in Russia
20:18with cosmonauts.
20:19It's normal for astronauts,
20:21but some folks thought he was getting too comfortable.
20:23Maybe hearing and sharing some things he shouldn't.
20:28Are you okay?
20:29Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
20:31I'm just hoping I don't have to tell my kid
20:33his dead astronaut hero is shady.
20:36It's too late right now, but...
20:38What are you thinking?
20:39I'm thinking we need to talk to Teddy's fiancee,
20:42Heidi, again in the morning.
20:44See if she was engaged to a spy.
21:12I'm so glad you came.
21:15How's your dress fit?
21:16Fine.
21:17Good.
21:18Don't remove the tag.
21:20It's because I need you to return it
21:21on your way to the airport.
21:23Why am I here?
21:24Ms. Quinn, a photo, please.
21:29I hate it when they do that.
21:32You have to be so careful
21:33who you're seeing with these days.
21:34Come, let's get a drink.
21:39Tonight is Lyme.
21:40Next month, pediatrics.
21:41Cancer in the wetlands.
21:44Each cause fighting for every dollar.
21:48None of which is why I'm here.
21:50Mm.
21:51Right.
21:51Why are you here again?
21:53To look into Roman Sinchera's abduction.
21:58Don't mistake my silence for guilt, Lieutenant.
22:01Silence is a language for people
22:03who can afford not to explain themselves.
22:05Well, I got 25 years on the force.
22:08That says otherwise.
22:10I have zero to offer you.
22:12But I'm sure you didn't come all this way
22:14without doing your homework.
22:18Well, let's see.
22:19I know that you grew up in North Jersey.
22:22The oldest child of Meredith,
22:24a public school teacher,
22:25and Ray,
22:26who worked for an industrial laundry service.
22:28Cute.
22:30Did you get that online?
22:32Did it also say that my dad believed in
22:35the value of labor
22:37and his word
22:40and the American dream?
22:42Not you?
22:43He was on the job for 30 years.
22:45They cut back his hours.
22:46He lost his insurance.
22:48Then his union slow walked into the grave.
22:51He died at 51 from a heart attack,
22:54shoveling snow in front of the house
22:56we were about to lose.
22:58My mom taught public school for 40 years
23:01and she was devout.
23:04Never missed a mass.
23:05She prayed through my brother's leukemia.
23:09Then she prayed through her own cancer,
23:11lighting candles for a God that never answered.
23:14Why are you telling me this?
23:17Because my parents believed in rules that don't exist
23:20and systems that failed them.
23:24Justice doesn't show up because you deserve it.
23:29It's doled out by people in rooms like this.
23:39Well, if you've done this
23:41to impress me or scare me,
23:44then you didn't do your homework.
23:46I didn't come all this way to leave empty-handed.
23:50I will call Marvin
23:52and get some time on your schedule.
23:55Enjoy your party.
24:10And this is a flashlight from Apollo 13.
24:14Teddy said that it kept him humble.
24:16The biggest emergency he faced on the ISS
24:18was some broken plumbing,
24:20which isn't nothing,
24:21but those guys nearly died.
24:26Well, he certainly sounds like a wonderful man.
24:30And you're right.
24:31He was.
24:33Do you have any idea who could have done this?
24:36Not yet,
24:37but we wanted to ask you some questions about Teddy.
24:39Sure. Go ahead.
24:40It's early days and we're just following leads,
24:42but the toxin that killed Teddy
24:44is a highly restricted nerve agent.
24:46The kind of thing that spies use on other spies.
24:49And you've heard about the suspicions from a few years ago?
24:51Yeah, that he was having secret meetings with the Russians.
24:54Is it true?
24:55I had the same worry,
24:56so I asked him about it.
24:58He told me that all he did was have dinner
25:00with some of his Russian counterparts.
25:02You think that's why he got killed?
25:04I mean, it could explain why things happened the way they did
25:06and how whoever killed him had access to the nerve agent.
25:09Is this the speech he was planning on giving?
25:12Uh, I forgot I even had it.
25:15Who is Astromalus?
25:17They're an aerospace contractor.
25:19Why? Did he mention them?
25:20Yeah. Did you not read that?
25:21Oh, he does more than mention them.
25:23This speech basically endorses them
25:24to build the first commercial space station.
25:26How much do you think that contract would have been worth?
25:29Billions, I'm sure.
25:30And Teddy had Washington's ear, right?
25:32Weren't there some people floating in for Congress?
25:33They definitely listened to anything he had to say on space.
25:36So coming from him,
25:37this could highly influence whoever gets that contract.
25:39And who didn't?
25:40I don't think the timing of this attack was a coincidence at all.
25:43Someone did not want Teddy giving that speech.
25:45It's called the low-Earth orbit economy.
25:48They're saying it's the next gold rush.
25:49The ISS is going to be retired in a few years
25:52and private companies are falling over each other
25:54to build replacements.
25:55Zero-G manufacturing.
25:56It's the new frontier.
25:58Everything from drugs to computers.
25:59It's a trillion-dollar industry.
26:01So you think somebody killed Teddy Barrow
26:03to stop him from backing one player?
26:05That's our current theory, yeah.
26:06Hmm.
26:08Who was on the losing end of that speech?
26:10Daphne and I was putting together a list.
26:12I'll keep you posted.
26:13Detective Karadik,
26:15before you go,
26:19I told Guillory I want to help with the Roman case.
26:21Hmm.
26:22I'm sorry I missed that.
26:26How do I get her to let me in?
26:28To the case?
26:30You don't get Morgan Guillory to do anything.
26:35I'm surprised you didn't know that by now.
26:45Lieutenant, you are persistent.
26:49Sit.
26:50Thank you, Cleo.
26:54I like you.
26:56You don't wait for permission.
26:58You get what you want.
26:59You get results.
27:00You are unapologetic, decisive.
27:04And you know how the city works under the surface,
27:06and not a lot of people do these days.
27:09I could use someone like you.
27:12Triple the pay.
27:13No red tape.
27:14No politics.
27:17You work fast.
27:19Things move with you.
27:21More reach.
27:22More change.
27:23I'm not here to be recruited.
27:25I'm here because 16 years ago,
27:27an FBI agent was murdered.
27:29Days later, a father disappeared,
27:31and a little girl grew up without him.
27:34And every step I've taken has led me here.
27:37To you.
27:41Well,
27:43I'm afraid you're on the wrong trail.
27:50We found this
27:51in a woman's backpack.
27:53Our techs have been working overtime
27:55extracting the data,
27:56but the day Roman was abducted,
27:58Hayworth was carrying this phone.
28:00And I'm guessing
28:01the information we extract from it
28:03will prove I'm on the right trail.
28:08I've been carrying that thing around with you
28:09this whole time.
28:13Now I have something to offer you.
28:16Come clean.
28:18Before we extract the data,
28:20the courts will see it as cooperation.
28:22Might treat you differently.
28:25Then you think that would matter to me.
28:27It should.
28:44I've got to be honest,
28:46I don't know anything about space stations,
28:47Mr. Bush, I am,
28:48but these designs look very impressive.
28:51I mean,
28:51I know I'm biased,
28:52but I think they're the best in the business.
28:53How did it make you feel
28:55knowing Teddy Burrell disagreed?
28:58Did he?
28:59I didn't know.
29:00Yeah, he was about to endorse Astromolis.
29:02You're not Astromolis,
29:04you're Galaxy Ark.
29:06I would have given a leg up
29:07on building the next space station.
29:08And driven investments away from you.
29:11So when you asked me to come in,
29:13saying you had questions about Teddy,
29:14you meant you think I had him killed.
29:19The trouble with your theory is,
29:21until just now,
29:22I didn't know Teddy was planning to endorse anyone.
29:24Well, the speech he was about to give
29:26was publicly promoted.
29:27True.
29:29But did anyone see the content of his speech?
29:32As far as I know,
29:33no one did.
29:34And I promise you,
29:34I would have heard.
29:35Speaking as someone who knows
29:36how bad this can be, detectives,
29:39I think your theory has a hole in it.
29:51How are we doing?
29:54I'm fine.
29:55I don't know how you're doing.
29:57I just got off the phone
29:59with the organizers
29:59from the symposium
30:00Teddy Burrell was supposed to speak at.
30:02They backed what the guy
30:03at Galaxy Ark said.
30:04Teddy didn't share his speech
30:05ahead of time with them,
30:06and as far as they know,
30:07not anyone else.
30:08When you spoke to Heidi,
30:09she said she didn't know
30:10Teddy planned that endorsement either,
30:11right?
30:12Hmm.
30:12Any chance she was lying?
30:13Maybe she's in a rival bidder's pocket.
30:15If anyone knew,
30:16it had to be her.
30:17We considered that,
30:18checked her financials,
30:19but weren't able to find
30:20any connections between her
30:21and those companies.
30:22Also, I just got a call from Heidi.
30:23She wanted us to know
30:24that tomorrow she's going to be
30:25giving Teddy speech.
30:27Why?
30:28What, she wants to continue his work?
30:29Tell the world
30:30who he planned on endorsing?
30:31That's the idea.
30:32Well, that probably rules her out
30:34as a suspect,
30:35least on financial motive.
30:36Why kill him
30:37only to deliver it herself?
30:38Yeah, but hold on a second.
30:39Teddy got killed
30:40because he was planning
30:41on giving this speech.
30:42If she wants to tell the world
30:43she's going to deliver it too,
30:45that paints a target on her back.
30:59You think that if I give this speech,
31:01it'll put me in danger?
31:02We certainly think it's possible,
31:03which is why we'd like you to hold off,
31:05at least until we find Teddy's color.
31:08So you don't want to do that?
31:09No.
31:10I want to honor Teddy's memory
31:12and share with the world
31:13what he believed in.
31:14It's my decision, right?
31:16Then we'll do everything we can
31:17to protect you.
31:17But you understand the risks.
31:20Neither of you ever met Teddy,
31:22did you?
31:23I didn't,
31:24but I do have to admit
31:25my son might be his biggest fan,
31:28so I kind of feel like I knew him.
31:31I told you that he finally proposed to me,
31:33but I don't think I told you how.
31:36He drove us all night
31:38to find my favorite constellation.
31:40You can only see it a few times a year,
31:43and there are really only a few places
31:44that you can see it.
31:46He, of course, had a million things
31:47that he should have been doing,
31:48but that was Teddy.
31:50Once he set his mind to something,
31:52there was no stopping him.
31:54Hmm.
31:54I don't want this to stop the work
31:56that he believed in, either.
31:58Then you're delivering his speech verbatim.
32:00Yeah.
32:01I did a little cleanup
32:03and added a statement of my own at the end.
32:05You mind if we get a copy
32:06of your latest draft?
32:07That'll help us plan your protection,
32:08follow along.
32:09Sure.
32:10Wait here.
32:11Uh, there's something else
32:12I want to give you, too.
32:17You want to see
32:18if she changed his speech?
32:20Well, if she's really reading his words,
32:21and she's not the one
32:22who wanted to stop it.
32:23I don't have a full take
32:25on this lady yet,
32:26but she does seem like
32:27she really loved the guy.
32:28Hmm.
32:32Here's the speech.
32:35And this is for your son.
32:38That toy shares Teddy's record number
32:41of hours in space.
32:42You brought it with him
32:43on every mission.
32:44No way.
32:45Yeah, he called it
32:46his zero-gravity indicator.
32:48The second he saw that lion
32:49floating around in front of him,
32:51he knew that the launch
32:52was a success.
32:55You'd want your son to have it.
32:57This is...
32:59This is really incredible.
33:07Oh, my God, it's Ziggy.
33:08Ziggy?
33:09ZGI, Teddy Burrow's
33:10zero-gravity indicator.
33:11Okay, so you've heard
33:12of it, apparently.
33:13Yeah, I mean,
33:14he posts about it all the time.
33:16Uh...
33:16Here.
33:18This thing's been in space.
33:20Yeah, a whole lot, apparently.
33:22I need to find a special spot for this.
33:26You know, I'm still gonna try
33:27and figure out what happened to him.
33:28I know.
33:29You'll do it.
33:38What's with the pen?
33:40What pen?
33:40He's holding a pen in his hand,
33:42in the same hand in every picture
33:43for, like, a month.
33:49And he was holding it
33:50on the day he died.
33:51Maybe it was his
33:52back-to-gravity indicator?
33:53Or maybe it was an indicator
33:55of something else.
34:01I didn't expect to see you back.
34:03I heard Elliot got a special gift.
34:05How's he like it?
34:06It's his new favorite thing,
34:07and I think he got a present for us.
34:08Can I see both versions
34:10of Teddy's speech?
34:10Uh, sure.
34:12This is the one that
34:13Teddy was gonna give,
34:13and, uh, this is
34:15Heidi's edited draft.
34:16Okay, and Heidi said
34:17she wanted to make
34:18a couple of corrections, right?
34:19Yeah, odd words here and there.
34:21Spear, where it should say
34:22spacecraft.
34:23Cabinet, where it should say
34:23capsule.
34:24We circled them.
34:25But everything that matters
34:26is the same.
34:27What do we think those were?
34:28Auto-correct errors?
34:29Auto-coded message?
34:30Maybe Teddy was a spy after all.
34:32No.
34:32I think it was something else.
34:35See, there's a pattern
34:36to the swapped words.
34:37Two, four, four.
34:39What's that?
34:40We have a spacecraft
34:42becoming sphere.
34:44Capsule becoming cabinet.
34:46Helmet becoming hard hat.
34:48They all sound familiar,
34:49but it's more than that.
34:50They're objects
34:50with similar shapes
34:51and functions,
34:52like someone playing
34:53some sort of word association
34:54without even knowing it.
34:56And if I'm right,
34:57Heidi is perfectly safe
34:58to give this speech.
35:02I swear I didn't know.
35:04I want to honor
35:05Teddy's memory
35:06and share with the world
35:07what he believed in.
35:08Why?
35:09What makes you think that?
35:10Because I know
35:11what this murder was about.
35:21We just want to go over
35:22the security plan
35:23before heading over
35:23so you know what to expect.
35:25Of course.
35:26And again, I appreciate it.
35:27Please, have a seat.
35:29We read your added statement
35:30at the end,
35:31how Teddy dedicated
35:32his life to exploration
35:33and how not even death
35:34should be able
35:35to stop his mission.
35:36It was beautiful.
35:38Thanks.
35:38I mean, you can really feel
35:40how important it is
35:41to you to continue
35:41Teddy's legacy.
35:42It is.
35:43Yep.
35:44Important enough
35:44that you killed him
35:45to protect it.
35:47As soon as you left
35:48to come here,
35:49we executed a search warrant
35:50at your home.
35:51We found a different speech
35:52on Teddy's computer
35:53than the one you were
35:54about to read,
35:55the speech he'd actually
35:56decided to give.
35:57Teddy was going to tell
35:58the world that he'd recently
35:59been diagnosed
36:00with brain cancer,
36:01most likely from radiation
36:03he was exposed to
36:04in space.
36:05Obviously,
36:05he couldn't be sure
36:06if that was the cause,
36:08but regardless,
36:09he felt the responsibility
36:10to reverse his position
36:11publicly,
36:12put a freeze
36:13on private development
36:14and stop sending people
36:15into space
36:15without greater safety measures.
36:17Yeah, the clues
36:18were all there.
36:19I just didn't know
36:19what they meant at first.
36:21About a month ago,
36:22Teddy started holding
36:22a pen in his hand
36:23all the time.
36:24Now, people who develop
36:25a tremor sometimes do that
36:26to help stop the hand
36:27from shaking.
36:28And all those wrong words
36:30in his speech,
36:30that's a symptom
36:31of anomic aphasia,
36:32an erosion
36:33of his language skills.
36:34It took us a minute
36:35to understand
36:36why you chose
36:36to kill him
36:37the way you did
36:37and how you got
36:39the VX nerve agent.
36:40Then those two questions
36:41answered each other.
36:42Our captain knows
36:43someone who works
36:44at NASA.
36:45It turns out
36:46they are researching
36:47an antidote to VX
36:48in zero gravity,
36:50sending up samples
36:51to the International
36:52Space Station.
36:53So as a member
36:53of the ground team,
36:55you would have had
36:55access to steal some.
36:57Teddy must have told you
36:58about the new speech
36:59a few weeks back.
37:00Figured you tried
37:01to talk him out of it,
37:02but once he set his mind
37:03to something,
37:03there was no stopping it.
37:04Those are your words,
37:05not mine.
37:06You picked Arden
37:07because she was desperate
37:08enough for views
37:09and athletic enough
37:09to pull it off.
37:10You copied the profile
37:11of a prank video producer,
37:13you bought a bunch
37:14of followers,
37:15and you made Arden
37:16think that she was
37:16signing up to create content
37:18when really she was
37:19committing a crime.
37:20She's being released,
37:21by the way.
37:22Her parents are taking
37:23her home,
37:23and her name
37:23will be cleared.
37:29The diagnosis changed Teddy.
37:31Teddy, he only had
37:32a few months to live.
37:34In some ways,
37:35that made him
37:36embrace life more.
37:37That's why he suddenly
37:38proposed to you, right?
37:41But then,
37:42his new stance
37:43on space research,
37:46that wasn't the Teddy
37:47I knew.
37:49That speech would have
37:50undone everything
37:51that he'd accomplished,
37:53and if he were still
37:54himself,
37:54then he'd never
37:56have made it.
37:58Pushing space exploration
38:00forward was his
38:00life's mission.
38:04He was dying anyway,
38:06and he was going
38:07to ruin his legacy.
38:11I loved him
38:12so much.
38:15He needed me
38:16to save him
38:16from himself.
38:19Heidi Troy,
38:20you are under arrest
38:21for the murder
38:22of Teddy Bar.
38:25Let's go, man.
38:38Good night, Morgan.
38:41Hey.
38:42I'm submitting a warrant
38:43to the DA
38:44to look into
38:44Quinn International.
38:46You talked to Soto?
38:47I did.
38:48She's on her way
38:48back to L.A.
38:49Willa didn't give her much.
38:51Not surprised.
38:52But if we don't do
38:53something big like this,
38:54I don't think you're
38:55ever going to find out
38:56what really happened
38:57to Roman.
38:57If it gets us
38:58what we want, great.
38:59And if it doesn't,
39:01we'll think of
39:01something else.
39:04Why are you doing this?
39:06Because it's the right
39:07thing to do.
39:11And I want to help.
39:19You getting on?
39:20No, I need to
39:21finish some things up.
39:24Have a good night, Morgan.
39:28Good night, Captain.
39:39We've got movement.
39:41DAs on both coasts
39:42are reviewing everything.
39:43Perfect.
39:45Let me know
39:45what they find.
39:46And prep Eric Hayworth
39:47for another interview at...
39:53Lieutenant.
39:58Lieutenant?
40:01I'm not your friend
40:03I think that you're the man
40:08I think that fool I am
40:13What the Hellboy looks like.
40:17I'm not your friend
40:17Because it's the house
40:17We're from now
40:20It's the Lord
40:35Who knows who knows
40:37Why are you
40:43So faster!
